Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the A0142M2 is based on strict parameter alignment across the following criteria:

• Manufacturer Consistency: Both parts sourced from APEM Inc.
• Functional Type: LED lamp component classification maintained
• Electrical Specifications: Identical voltage rating (12V) and color (green)
• Series Compatibility: Both parts belong to the A01 series with compatible series designation (Apem, A01, A02)
• Regulatory Compliance: Matching RoHS3 compliance, MSL rating, and REACH status
• Packaging Consideration: Substitute available in bag packaging format

The A0142M2SP serves as the direct active substitute, differing only in product status (active vs. obsolete) and packaging configuration.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The A0142M2SP is the designated substitute for the obsolete A0142M2. Both components maintain identical electrical and mechanical specifications, with full regulatory compliance alignment (ROHS3, REACH unaffected, EAR99 classification). The transition from A0142M2 to A0142M2SP is supported by matching voltage ratings, LED type, color specification, and series compatibility. The A0142M2SP is currently active in production with confirmed inventory availability (917 pcs), ensuring supply chain continuity for new designs and production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can A0142M2SP directly replace A0142M2 in existing designs? A: Yes. Both components share identical electrical specifications (12V green LED), series designation (A01), and regulatory compliance status. Substitution is electrically and mechanically valid.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution? A: The A0142M2 is classified as obsolete. The A0142M2SP is the active equivalent, ensuring long-term procurement availability and production support.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts? A: The A0142M2SP is supplied in bag packaging, while the A0142M2 packaging format is not specified. Verify packaging requirements for your application workflow.

Q: Do both parts meet the same regulatory requirements? A: Yes. Both components are ROHS3 compliant, REACH unaffected, and classified under ECCN EAR99 with matching HTSUS code 8541.41.0000.

Q: Is the MSL rating identical for both parts? A: Yes. Both components carry MSL rating 1 (Unlimited), indicating no moisture sensitivity restrictions for storage and handling.
